Full Circle Tiny baby, little one Mother looks at child with love Gives her thanks to God above Dreams of days all full of fun Underneath the noonday sun Little girl, a child of three Lacey things now fill her room She plays in gardens where flowers bloom Sits upon her daddy’s knee Little girl giggles aloud with glee Child is growing, now a teen No longer plays with dolls and toys Into makeup, cars, and boys Before her date she’ll sit and preen And hope her parents won’t make a scene Older now and now a bride Dressed up in her gown of white Flowers in her hair, smile so bright Walks up the aisle by daddy’s side He gives her away face full of pride Tiny baby, little one Mother looks at child with love Gives her thanks to God above The new life in her arms has just begun And life’s full circle we have come ------------------ "The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say." ~Anais Nin |

Great job Hoot. I have a grown daughter too, wait till the babies come! That joy is indescribable. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Today a man discovered gold and fame, Another flew the stormy seas; Another set an unarmed world aflame, One found the germ of a disease. But what high fates my path attend; For I-today-I found a friend. >Helen Barker Parker |

The circle of life is never ending, A joy to behold. I loved this poem, it pulled my strings... ------------------ Words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. ~Isis~ |

Julie, Whtdove, Lucie, Isis and Denise...thank you all so much. I can't say as I'll ever experience anything quite like this as I have two boys, but I am looking forward to grandkids...just not for a while yet ------------------ "The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say." ~Anais Nin |

Beautifully expressed...:-)) HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

A simple definition of our existence... the never-ending circle. Well written, Hoot. |
